I am currently running Ubuntu 10.10 on my Laptop Computer and along with a plethora of other problems -that I have been able to put up with- I have discovered that, for some unknown reason my laptop is incapable of reading DVD-Roms... what gives?
The only error I receive is, "could not read from resource". I have libdvdread4 installed along with Ubuntu Restricted Extras... due to my limited Ubuntu knowledge I have absolutely no idea what to do next.
I fixed VLC to point to the correct device /dev/sr0) I executed sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras If I play a music CD instead of a movie DVD, it works correct, so the device must work VLC and Movie Player work correctly with any video file in the computer.
If it helps, this is what the log says:

Bought new movie the other day and trying to back it up with DVD::RIP. I have used this program for years but today I ran into something new. When I go to read the TOC from the disc I get an error:Code: Fri Aug 12 07:58:49 2011 Job 'Read TOC (lsdvd|tcprobe)' exited with error: Job 'Read TOC (lsdvd)' failed with error message: Error reading table of contents. Please check your DVD device settings in the Preferences and don't forget to put a DVD in the drive.Which is strange because I have every dependency installed and satisfied all the dvdrip requirements.
So I fought back and forth with it for about an hour and decided the check the dvd. The DVDs VIDEO_TS folder is like a whooping 24GB and I cant view the individual VOB files, they look and act scrambled just like if I did not have libdvdcss installed. But here is the kicker.I can watch the DVD just fine if I go to watch it in my PC or in my TV DVD player.
ubuntu 9.10 can't read micro sd? tried to read it using a card reader usb or sort of but it doesn't seem to be recognize... if ubuntu 9.10 can read micro sd using a usb card reader or something, how?
I want my iPod to automatically mount as read only. I am hoping this will prevent Rhythmbox from changing my playlist sort order while still allowing me to listen to my music.I've tried a number of things this morning and never got it working properly. I'll try to remember what I tried:gksu gedit fstabI added UUID=5EFC-9810 /media/ipod vfat ro,noexec,noauto,user 0 0cd /mediaudo mkdir ipodMounted the iPod and it showed up twice in Places (possibly as a result of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...fs/+bug/442130). Also, the directory iPod was always listed in Places even when I hadn't connected my iPod. So I listened to the advice there and tried:/dev/disk/by-uuid/5EFC-9810 /media/ipod vfat ro,noexec,noauto 0 0Now I couldn't get my iPod to mount at all. The error given was something like:Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1...only root can mount media/ipodI was able to chown /ipod but it didn't solve my problem.I started over and tried:UUID=5EFC-9810 /media/ipod vfat ro 0 0
trying to run stuff from CD or DVD ROMS >without< copying to my cluttered hard drive, and came to a thought that I'd like evaluated: Would it work to perhaps use sed during the cd-rom auto-mount or some other point to enable the executable bit for *.exe and other 'executables' to somehow override the read only factor? I'm not too familiar with sed except that i know it can insert/replace new patterns of data for defined patterns of existing data.. so would something like this work? Could it be implemented as permanent function of Ubuntu to 'checkbox' cd/dvd mounts to insert the exec' bit on all, known, or choice files as a sort of 'virtual' permissions that can be placed on RO mounts?
My brand new DVD+RW disc can't be read by debian (6.0) after trying to erase and burn a new iso into it. I used brasero for this but it failed to burn it and left it in this bad state. It could be detected before the failed brasero session though.
However, whenever I introduce the dvd into the drive after the brasero session, the dvd drive makes the same noises all the time as if it can't read something on it and is going back to the beginning and doing this all the time over and over again. The data on the dvd is not important but what I want to know is if it is possible to stop the OS from trying to read what's in it so I can use some erasing software to make the dvd useful again.
I have spent some time in photoshop. And I remember a useful feature in it, where Photoshop can tell you info about the image, by pressing on the properties or something. Photoshop can say what the picture was taken with (mobile / camera) and what date.
I run Ubuntu now is there anyone who knows a program which can do the same for Ubuntu? I can't find anything in GIMP
I am trying to get my Multimedia player to work with Ubuntu I can't have access to it because it said that it is read only. I have got to gksudo and tried to change the permission on it but can't. The player works fine on a windows computer. All my other usb devices work fine I was able to change permission in the folders but not the drive.
When I insert a normal off the self DVD movie, I am unable to play it, I have tried 3 different media players:
Movie Player (An error occurred, could not read from resource) VLC (loads the disc, shows a time of 00:00, and just won't play) GNOME MPlayer (pretty much the same as VLC, loads but won't play)
The funny thing about all this is that the one burned DVD I tried (no menus but structured as a DVD) will play, I'm thinking copyright?
I would like to put Photos on a DVD disc so they can be viewed on a TV via a DVD player. What is the easies way to do this? And photos are in PNG format. Will this format work? or do I have to convert them to JPG?
I've downloaded a cbr (comic book) file. But I couldn't manage to read it. Tried built-in Document Viewer, Comix and mcomix. Nothing worked. Document Viewer says the file is full of empty pages, others show broken paper instead of the images. But when I unpack it, the images are normally unpacked. I can't attach it because I get an "Internal Server Error". I can however upload to somewhere else if you want to check the file.
I'm currently running 10:04 and I'm looking for some sort of program to read my Canon DVD Camera to get the videos off the DVD's. Even in MS Windows I haven't been able to use it since I lost the included software.
It worked fine with the base install of 10.4 but somewhere along the way it stopped working and became read only.Autodetect and MTP modes cause only the Fuze to show up in Rhythmbox. However the track numbers are all wrong and some things are garbled. MSC mode, which I used in the past, shows the Fuze and card both in Rhythmbox and on the desktop. However it's in read only mode.
I've been trying to rip DVD's using AcidRip but whatever DVD I try I get the same error from AcidRip - Can't Read DVD track. Faulty Disc?
After reading the forums I've tried /dev/dvd ,/dev/sr0 (Found by using the Disk Utility), /Media/DVD Title etc and tried running AcidRip both as myself and Sudo without success.
I am not sure what is happening with my music, but it's driving me mad and making me pull out my hair. My ID tags are not being read correctly through through both Rhythmbox and Banshee, but my tag editor, dBpoweramp, and Ubuntu properties reports the information correctly. All of my music is stored on another computer stream via the network. For example, I have an album by X Japan label as this:Track: Break the DarknessArtist: XAlbum: I'll Kill You EPYear: 1985
But banshee breaks up the album into two different albums, and on top of that, Banshee see it as X Japan, but reads it as X for the artist. And it's not just this album, it happens to a lot of my albums, sometimes they are missing tracks or mislabel or missing cover art, etc, etc, but only within the media player. Why is this happening and has anyone else notice this?Ubuntu 10.10 x64Banshee 1.8.0Rhythmbox 0.13.1Music streamed over network
I have the 64bit version of SuSe 11.2 installed on my PC. For some reason it cannot read a Jessops photo cd which reads ok on a windows pc or any other cd with photos on it, it has no problem reading other cds with program files on them.
Is there a utility that can be used to view file information about a video file? Example: if the file was encoded with ffmpeg, and if it is H.264. In addition, what type of encoder was used for audio?
I burn a dvd with k3b or braseo and it says it completed the burn w/o error but when I go to put it back in to read it just keeps the read light on on the drive and wont read. I have tried to read the DVD on windows 7 as well and get the same result. I had this issue with Kubuntu 10.04 as well and wrote it off as a quirk of Kubuntu. Before that I had Gentoo installed for many years w/o issue. So I have a hard time believing that suddenly when I switch from Gentoo that I am having this problem with my drive.
The following is the dmesg |Tail from inserting a dvd burnt w/ k3b:
I can not watch a DVD video using Movie Player. It gives the message: An Error Ocurred Can not read from resource. What does it want me to do ? Buy a new DVD player ? I have no trouble with this drive in another distribution on the same computer, or playing audio CDs in this very Debian OS. So I don't think there is anything wrong with the DVD drive. VLC won't do anything either.
The issue I am running into is, when I try to play this file in Windows Media Player or even VLC on the linux host, the default size of the video results in the text in the terminal to be unreadable..
When I re-size the video, as in blow it up to full screen, I can see the text clearly..
The playback device is running something like 1280x1020 resolution. Is there a way to make it so that the text will also be readable?
I am unable to rip from CD to .mp3 using pretty much any tool. Dolphin / Konqueror auidiocd:// KIO slave shows the mp3 folder, but when you move the tracks you get: Could not read some_song.mp3: encoding failed WARNING: libsndfile may ignore -r and perform fseek's on the input. Compile without libsndfile if this is a problem. I'm running 11.3 (KDE 4.4.4) with K3B 2 from Packman (with the k3b 2 codec package) and K3B fails as does the KIO slave method above. Lame version is: lame-3.98.4-2.pm.4.1.x86_64 Restricted multimedia formats packages are installed from Restricted formats/11.3 - openSUSE Community Wiki Alsa works great otherwise, I have no sound issue, etc. - just can't rip anything to mp3 Seems like I'm not the only one who has had this problem, there are a few posts here on the Suse Forum, and others elsewhere, but the resolution seems to be nebulous at best. Sometimes lame 3.98 from packman works for some guys, other times not, etc. Unable to rip an audio cd into mp3's using 11.2 - opensuse.opensuse.org - ArchiveOrange
